Designed in 2008 by Alexander Brenner Architects, the Heidehof House still looks like a contemporary building. This beautiful residence is located in Stuttgart, Germany and it sits on a 377 square meter plot. The shape of the plot required an elongated building that also had to run parallel to the road. The house has a sleek and elegant design. It features a large wood-clad garage wall and it also includes a white cube that rises above the zebra striped near the pool. The expansive, wood-clad garage wall, the layers of garden and pool walls in front of the house and the compact white cube, rising weightlessly above “zebra stripes”, shield the building from the public space on the northeast side. The bright entrance hall, which is characterized by a frameless glazing stretching across two stories, faces onto the garden and the old plane tree.
All living spaces – the living area with the dining space and kitchen on the ground floor, as well as the bedrooms, bathrooms and roof garden on the upper floor – offer views of this imposing tree. On the upper floor, a copper-clad unit stretching along the whole of the solid north wall accommodates all objects and functions to be stored. This element forms the backbone of the upper story.
